Between 2 and 4 million women are annually victimized by domestic violence. Most
children in homes in which domestic violence occurs witness that abuse and suffer
secondary psychological effects, including aggressive behavior and depression. Male
children who witness abuse are more likely to become abusers themselves as adults,
creating a vicious, intergenerational cycle of violent behavior. (ABA Domestic Violence Commission)
